NASHVILLE BALLET WANTS TO BE WHERE NASHVILLE MEETS BALLET - WHERE NASHVILLIANS ARE INTRODUCED TO THE ART FORM AND WHERE A CONTEMPORARY MUSIC CITY MERGES WITH THE FINE ART OF BALLET. LAST SEASON FULFILLED THAT GOAL AND PROVED TO BE OUR MOST DARING YET. WE OPENED THE 2013-2014 SEASON WITH A BRAND NEW TAKE ON THE CLASSIC FAIRYTALE PETER PAN. THIS WORLD PREMIERE WITH ORIGINAL CHOREOGRAPHY BY NASHVILLE BALLET ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & CEO PAUL VASTERLING FEATURED ON-STAGE FLIGHT BY BELOVED CHARACTERS PETER, WENDY AND TINKERBELL. AS IF OUR HOLIDAY TRADITION, WE PRESENTED NASHVILLE'S NUTCRACKER. THE LOCAL CLASSIC CELEBRATES OUR CITY'S RICH CULTURAL HISTORY BY SETTING THE FAMILIAR TALE IN 1897 NASHVILLE. IN ANOTHER WORLD PREMIERE, VASTERLING COMBINED HIS CHOREOGRAPHIC PROWESS WITH AN ORIGINAL PIANO CONCERTO FROM ACCLAIMED POP MUSICIAN BEN FOLDS IN A TRIPLE-BILL THAT ALSO INCLUDED BALANCHINE'S SERENADE AND KYLIAN'S PETITE MORT. AS PART OF OUR EFFORT TO SHOWCASE NASHVILLE BALLET'S DIVERSITY, CONTEMPORARY PERFORMANCES ATTITUDE AND EMERGENCE FEATURED NEW AND REVIVED WORKS SET TO MUSIC RANGING IN DIVERSITY FROM NASHVILLE-BASED MUSICIANS SUGAR AND THE HI LOWS TO MOZART. CHILDREN'S BALLETS OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG AUDIENCE MEMBERS AND FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF DANCE. CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS, SET TO CAMILLE SAINT-SAEN'S WELL-KNOWN COMPOSITION, AND TENNESSEE JACK AND THE KUDZU VINE, A LOCAL TAKE ON THE ENGLISH FAIRY TALE, OFFERED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE NEW FANS TO BALLET, AND INSPIRE THEM TO COME DANCE WITH US IN OUR SCHOOL. ALL DANCES WERE PERFORMED BY PROFESSIONAL, RESIDENT ARTISTS FROM OUR THREE DIVISIONS -- A COMPANY OF 23 PROFESSIONAL DANCERS; A SECOND COMPANY (NB2) CONSISTING OF 28 MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING ALONGSIDE OUR MAIN COMPANY; AND A TRAINING DIVISION OF 14 DANCERS IN THE PURSUIT OF A PROFESSIONAL CAREER. NB2 DANCERS PERFORM ALL OF OUR OUTREACH & EDUCATION PERFORMANCES WHILE ALSO DANCING IN SEASON PRODUCTIONS AS THE CORPS DE BALLET. OUR PERFORMANCES ALONE REACH NEARLY 31,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS, WHILE OUR OUTREACH & EDUCATION INITIATIVES REACH AN AUDIENCE OF 37,000, MANY OF WHOM MAY NOT OTHERWISE EXPERIENCE BALLET OR A NASHVILLE BALLET PERFORMANCE. NASHVILLE BALLET BRINGS DANCE PERFORMANCES OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH PERFORMANCES IN SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, COMMUNITY CENTERS, HEAD START CENTERS, ARTS FESTIVALS AND ARTS VENUES. WE REACH APPROXIMATELY 18 MIDDLE TENNESSEE COUNTIES, BRINGING DANCE TO MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE A LIVE PERFORMANCE. DURING THE 2013-2014 SEASON, WE PERFORMED 188 PROGRAMS AND REACHED MORE THAN 37,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS. WE INTEGRATE DANCE EDUCATION WITH CORE SUBJECTS SUCH AS READING, MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES, WHILE MEETING THE DEVELOPMENTAL AND ACADEMIC STANDARDS SET BY THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. OUR SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE BALLET IS THE ONLY PREPARATORY BALLET SCHOOL IN TENNESSEE LINKED WITH A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. OUR GOAL IS TO SET THE STANDARD FOR INSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE STATE AND TO BE A NATIONALLY KNOWN LEADER IN CLASSICAL BALLET TRAINING. THAT UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO QUALITY HAS HELPED THE SCHOOL GROW FROM 662 STUDENTS IN 2011 TO 1,399 STUDENTS IN 2013, PLUS 196 IN OUR ELITE 5-WEEK SUMMER INTENSIVE TRAINING PROGRAM - OUR HIGHEST ANNUAL ENROLLMENT IN HISTORY. THIS EXPONENTIAL GROWTH HAS MOTIVATED OUR PLANS TO EXPAND OUR FACILITY TO ACCOMODATE THE DEMAND FOR THESE TRAINING PROGRAMS. WITHIN THE SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE BALLET IS THREE DIVISIONS: OUR CHILDREN'S PROGRAM INTRODUCES BALLET TO OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS (AGE 2 THROUGH 6) THROUGH MOVEMENT, MUSIC AND CREATIVE PLAY, IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WILL BECOME FUTURE BALLET DANCERS, FANS AND ADVOCATES WHO CAN CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF THE ORGANIZATION INTO THE FUTURE. THE ACADEMY OF SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE BALLET (AGES 7 AND UP) NURTURES EACH STUDENT'S TECHNICAL EXECUTION, ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND MATURITY, HELPING STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ARTISTRY THROUGH PURE CLASSICAL TECHNIQUE. OUR COMMUNITY DIVISION IS AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ADULTS WHO ARE NEW TO DANCE, REDISCOVERING A PASSION FOR MOVEMENT, CONTINUING THEIR DANCE EDUCATION OR LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO STAY FIT.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 8: CONTRIBUTIONS AND GRANTS NASHVILLE BALLET'S CAPITAL CAMPAIGN HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED FUNDRAISING EFFORTS BEGINNING IN DECEMBER 2012. THIS REVENUE IS RESTRICTED TO THE PURPOSE OF OUR CAPITAL EXPANSION AND OTHER ASSOCIATED EXPENSES. THE BREAKDOWN OF THIS REVENUE IS AS FOLLOWS: PRIOR YEAR: REPORTED ON LINE 8 $2,455,530 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 1,029,804 ALL OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS 1,425,726 CURRENT YEAR: REPORTED ON LINE 8 4,157,092 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 2,179,428 ALL OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS 1,977,664 COMPARISON OF PRIOR YEAR TO CURRENT YEAR "ALL OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS" REVEALS AN INCREASE IN CONTRIBUTIONS OF $551,938. THE MAJORITY OF THIS INCREASE IS DUE TO THE RECEIPT OF A SINGLE CONTRIBUTION RECORDED DURING THIS PERIOD BUT RESTRICTED FOR USE IN THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. THE AMOUNT OF THAT CONTRIBUTION IS $458,000.
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 18: TOTAL EXPENSES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE RELEVANT, COMPARATIVE DATA FROM THE PRIOR YEAR TO THE CURRENT YEAR, ESTIMATED EXPENSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE LAUNCH OF NASHVILLE BALLET'S CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, FOR WHICH REVENUE IS DELINEATED ABOVE, AND DEPRECIATION EXPENSE (A SIGNIFICANT, NON-CASH EXPENSE) ARE EXPLAINED BELOW: PRIOR YEAR: REPORTED ON LINE 18 $4,126,782 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 182,481 DEPRECIATION EXPENSE 248,627 ALL OTHER EXPENSES 3,695,674 CURRENT YEAR: REPORTED ON LINE 18 4,377,754 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 164,586 DEPRECIATION EXPENSE 278,142 ALL OTHER EXPENSES 3,935,026 COMPARISON OF PRIOR YEAR TO CURRENT YEAR "ALL OTHER EXPENSES" REVEALS AN INCREASE OF $239,352. MORE THAN $110,000 OF THIS INCREASE IS DUE TO A PLANNED INCREASE IN ARTISTIC PROGRAM EXPENSES FOR THE LICENSING OF THE BALLET PETIT MORT, BY JIRI KYLIAN, AND THE CO-COMMISSION OF A PIANO CONCERTO BY BEN FOLDS AND THE RELATED FEES ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING MR. FOLDS PERFORM DURING THE WORLD PREMIERE BALLET CHOREOGRAPHED TO HIS PIANO CONCERTO. ADDITIONALLY, PERSONNEL EXPENSES NOT RELATED TO THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN INCREASED BY APPROXIMATELY $150,000 FROM PRIOR YEAR TO CURRENT YEAR. THIS REFLECTS ONLY A 7% OVERALL INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR AND IS PRIMARILY DUE TO ANNUAL COMPENSATION INCREASES AND INCREASED BENEFITS EXPENSES. NASHVILLE BALLET ALSO CONTINUES TO STRATEGICALLY EXPAND ITS STAFF AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE THE CURRENT GROWTH OF ALL PROGRAMS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 IN WHAT WE CONSIDER OUR MOST AMBITIOUS SEASON TO DATE, NASHVILLE BALLET CREATED NEW WORKS AND PERFORMED ESSENTIAL PIECES WITHIN THE BALLET CANON, INTRODUCING CHOREOGRAPHY INTO OUR OWN REPERTORY AND EXPOSING A NEW GENERATION OF NASHVILLIANS TO THESE ESSENTIAL WORKS OF ART. 1. THE BEN FOLDS PROJECT - POP MUSIC IMPRESARIO BEN FOLDS WROTE AN ORIGINAL PIANO CONCERTO AS PART OF A SPECIAL COMMISSION ARRANGEMENT AMONGST NASHVILLE BALLET, THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY AND THE MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA. FOLDS AND VASTERLING COLLABORATED TO COMBINE THE NEW MUSICAL COMMISSION WITH ORIGINAL CHOREOGRAPHY, SPINNING A POETIC NARRATIVE IN A CLASSICAL STYLE INFLUENCED BY POPULAR MUSIC. THE NASHVILLE SYMPHONY PREMIERED THE CONCERTO IN MARCH 2014, FOLDS PERFORMED THE WORK WITH THE MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA, THEN NASHVILLE BALLET PREMIERED THE ACCOMPANYING CHOREOGRAPHY IN MAY. ARTS NASH WRITER JOHN PITCHER COMPARED THE COLLABORATION TO "WATCHING MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV AND BOB FOSSE ONSTAGE WHILE MAURICE RAVEL AND ART TATUM TOOK TURNS AT THE PIANO." THE PERFORMANCE ALLOWED NASHVILLE BALLET TO REACH 1,399 NEW AUDIENCE MEMBERS WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE ATTENDED A NASHVILLE BALLET PERFORMANCE. 2. PETITE MORT. A REPRESENTATIVE OF CZECH/DUTCH CHOREOGRAPHER JIRI KYLIAN'S ESTATE VISITED NASHVILLE BALLET IN 2012 TO ASSESS THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO PERFORM ONE OF KYLIAN'S WORKS. BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH AND ABILITIES OF THE COMPANY, NASHVILLE BALLET WAS OFFERED A CHOICE OF WHICH KYLIAN PIECE WE WOULD PERFORM. THIS WORK OFFERED OUR DANCERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THEIR ARTISTIC SKILL SET AND PRESENT THIS NOTABLE WORK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE COMPANY'S HISTORY. PETITE MORT WAS PRESENTED WITH THE BEN FOLDS PROJECT, WHICH WAS ATTENDED BY A TOTAL OF 3,291 INDIVIDUALS. 3. SERENADE. THE ESSENCE OF NEO-CLASSICAL BALLET, SERENADE INTRODUCED NASHVILLE AUDIENCES TO GEORGE BALANCHINE'S FIRST BALLET. THE TENNESSEAN'S REVIEW OF THE PERFORMANCE SAID, "FULL OF ROMANCE AND EMOTION, THE WORK CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY AND STRENGTH OF THE FEMALE FORMLEAD DANCERS SADIE BO HARRIS, ALEXANDRA MEISTER, KAYLA ROWSER AND KATIE VASILOPOULOS PERFORM WITH PARTICULAR SENSITIVITY. AND THE BALLET'S FINAL MOMENTS - IN WHICH HARRIS IS LIFTED UP AND CARRIED OFFSTAGE LIKE THE GREAT MASTHEAD OF SOME GHOSTLY SHIP - IS POSITIVELY CHILLING." SERENADE WAS PRESENTED WITH THE BEN FOLDS PROJECT AND PETITE MORT, WHICH WAS ATTENDED BY 16% MORE INDIVIDUALS THAN THE PREVIOUS SPRING PERFORMANCE. 4. PETER PAN. NASHVILLE BALLET CREATED ITS OWN, BRAND NEW TAKE ON THE CLASSIC FAIRYTALE. COMPLETE WITH LOST BOYS, CAPTAIN HOOK, A MAN-EATING CROCODILE AND TINKERBELL, PETER PAN DEBUTED ORIGINAL CHOREOGRAPHY FROM VASTERLING AND CUSTOM SETS AND COSTUMES FROM CAMPBELL BAIRD, WHO ALSO DESIGNED THE COSTUMES FOR NASHVILLE'S NUTCRACKER. VASTERLING COMPLETED THE MAGIC IN THIS AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING BY INCORPORATING ON-STAGE FLIGHT FOR PETER, WENDY AND TINKERBELL. THE PRODUCTION ELEMENTS WERE ALL DESIGNED TO BE RENTED BY OTHER DANCE COMPANIES, AND ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO DO SO. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PRODUCTION ALLOWED US TO INCREASE OUR FALL SERIES FROM THREE TO FOUR PERFORMANCES WITH PETER PAN. THE AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING PAID OFF BY ATTRACTING 2,228 NEW AUDIENCE MEMBERS, AND A TOTAL OF 4,485 ATTENDEES. 5. EMERGENCE. AS PART OF OUR EFFORT TO PROFILE NEW AND EMERGING WORKS FROM A DIVERSE GROUP OF CHOREOGRAPHERS, NASHVILLE BALLET EXHIBITED THE WORK OF THREE CHOREOGRAPHERS IN 2014, ALL SET TO MUSIC COMPOSED BY AMERICAN COMPOSER PAUL MORAVEC AND PERFORMED BY ALIAS CHAMBER ENSEMBLE IN COLLABORATION WITH NASHVILLE'S NEWEST CHORAL GROUP PORTARA ENSEMBLE. THE EXPERIMENTAL COMBINATION OF CLASSICAL AND CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND DANCE FEATURED CHOREOGRAPHERS BANNING BOULDIN, JAMES GREGG AND GINA PATTERSON. 6. THE SUCCESS OF THE SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE BALLET IN FY14 INDICATES THAT NASHVILLE BALLET IS ALWAYS DEVELOPING A LOVE OF DANCE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. ENROLLMENT IN THE SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE BALLET WAS 1,399 STUDENTS IN 2013, PLUS 196 IN OUR ELITE 5-WEEK SUMMER INTENSIVE TRAINING PROGRAM - OUR HIGHEST ANNUAL ENROLLMENT IN HISTORY. BY EDUCATING STUDENTS AS YOUNG AS 2 YEARS OLD, WE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE LEGACY OF BALLET AS AN ART FORM BY CULTIVATING FUTURE DANCERS, DONORS, PATRONS AND ARTS ENTHUSIASTS. 7. CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. THE EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL OF NASHVILLE MOTIVATED US TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY IN 2012 TO ASSESS OUR ABILITY TO RAISE THE FUNDS NEEDED TO EXPAND OUR SPACE AND ACCOMMODATE ALL OF THE STUDENTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO STUDY DANCE IN OUR SCHOOL. AS A RESULT, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A $5.5 MILLION FUNDRAISING GOAL TO FUND AN EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT AND THE PURCHASE OF THE NEIGHBORING FACILITY, FORMERLY CLIMB NASHVILLE.
